ÖVP shoots against SPÖ: Vienna before new elections in the crisis!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The Mayor of Vienna Michael Ludwig has announced that the municipal council and district representative elections will be preferred on April 27. This is done in the middle of an intensive political exchange of blows between the SPÖ and the ÖVP. Ludwig emphasized that the decision on the new election serves the goal of using a new city government before the summer. This is the first time that an FPÖ politician could move into the Federal Chancellor's seat, which continues to whirl up the political landscape in Austria.

In an angry reaction, the state party chairman of the Vienna ÖVP, Karl Mahrer, commented on the elections as "premature and incomprehensible". He sees this a sign of party -political calculation to save the existing "standstill coalition" from SPÖ and Neos. Mahrer accused the city government of delivering a "devastating" result in the areas of education and security. He particularly criticized the increasing gang crime and the lack of progression of important infrastructure projects, which the ÖVP perceives as unsustainable, as well as MSN

criticism of the previous city government

The Viennese ÖVP sees itself well prepared for the election campaign and calls for a "turnaround", which, according to Mahrer, can only be achieved with the support of the ÖVP. Wölbitsch, the club chairman of the ÖVP, spoke of "hypocrisy" in the actions of the SPÖ and emphasized that the high social benefits in the city were no longer wearable, which made Vienna a "social and crime magnet". Mahrer emphasized that the current political situation can no longer be tolerated and demanded extensive changes in the areas of education and integration.
